Gameday in Buenos Aires for the first round between Boca & Arsenal.

Boca is without Romero, Fabra, Zambrano & Advíncula who are with their NT. Rojo, Benedetto, Pol & Salvio aren’t called. Avila isn’t there also he should be transferred.

Arsenal on their side hasn’t any problem of missings.

Boca just won Copa de La Liga Profesional against Tigre 3-0 but of course we can’t judge their level based on this trophy. The team is in big trouble to provide a good football, their coach Battaglia is doing some weird choices as today, indeed Boca is going with an alternative line up, as they play in 3 days in Cup they don’t want to be surprised and will focus the cup game. It’s weird because it’s been a moment since their last game to rest and also because the best way to prepare a game is to get rhythm.

Arsenal on their side is an average team in Argentina. In the last campaign they made 3 wins, 8 draws & 3 losses for 20 goals scored & 19 goals conceded.

Boca is going with a 4-3-3 with García;

Weigandt, Figal, Cali, Sandez;

Medina, Rolon, Molinas,Zeballos, Vázquez & Villa.

They will be able to change to a 4-3-1-2 during the game. It’s nice to see players as Zeballos, Villa, Vazquez but I still think that they will get a lack of chemistry. Rolon starting isn’t a good choice.

Defensively it’s gonna be more complicated as they have important missings hard to replace.

I expect 1-1 or 1-2.
